Commercial Description:
“With its golden hue and gentle complexity, the Terrapin Golden Ale brings refreshing to a whole new level. Its combination of flavor, smoothness and drinkability is difficult to find in most craft beers. Sometimes even hopheads like us want nothing more than to enjoy a beer that is crisp, smooth and refreshing. That is why we created the perfect session beer - the Terrapin Golden Ale.”

Bottle. Translucent pale gold body with a generous white, effervescent head. Aroma is predominantly bread and butter, undertones of bubblegum, apricot and citrus notes, subtle hints toward maltiness, and a floral estery finish. Flavor is bready, buttery around the sides, peppery, slightly fruity, mellow hints of orange zest permeate the light body, and generally mellifluous. Not bad at all but not my taste either for a session. Could make an interesting brew with a little more gravity.

This beer was just terrible. Had it in a mixed 12 pack labeled ’all the hits’. This one is a sure miss. I’m sure the rest will be better....they couldn’t get any worse.

It was a mild, pale, light-bodied ale with low to mediumish bitterness and low hop and aroma. Liked this a lot. It was smooth and very satisfying.

Bottle, April 2008 tasting. Pale gold colour. There is a dab of citrus in the aroma and flavour but it is hidden under too much paper and cardboard. I don’t know how old this beer was but it certainly seemed a bit stale and oxidised. Which is going to be a killer in a relatively delicate beer that is supposed to be clean, straightforward and drinkable, freshness would be a key element. Not undrinkable but marked for re-rate of a fresh sample when the opportunity arises.

12 oz bottle. Pours an ambiguous color, mostly yellow but with some amber and brown. Aroma’s a bit fruity but not much there. Flavor is sweet but light and, like the aroma, there is not much to it. A disappointment.

Pours a straw yellow with a creamy white head that skims the surface of the beer. Aroma of lemon and bread. Flavor of citrus-lemon, bread, and a touch of hops. Crisp and refreshing.

Out of the bottle, so I’ll just give an average appearance. Smooth malty aroma and flavor. Good not great.

Thanks to markwise. Clear gold, effervescent, nice white head, temporary lace. Aroma has a light malt syrup aroma, a bit of grass in the background, crisp and clean. Flavor is generally sweet and malty. First impression was extremely bready, with stale notes, but these faded after a few sips. Medium body. Fine session brew.
